Hi Yves,
IIRC, RunRev only has problems with long filenames,
not long paths. Try to find out what the correct
pathname would be by using the following script.
on mouseUp
answer file "Find the file with the long pathname"
if the result is "Cancel" then exit mouseUp
else put it into fld "ThePath"
answer line 1 of URL ("file:"&it)
end mouseUp
That should bring you closer to understanding what's
going on, and how you can perhaps work around it.
Hope this helped,
Jan Schenkel.
